Donovan Beattie (she/her/hers)

LPCA
Accepting Clients

Hello, my name is Donovan, and I work as a creative, energetic, and understanding therapist.

Counselor in East Hartford, CT
Supervised by Renee Cross, LPC

About My Clients

I enjoy working with individuals aged 15 and older, especially those from the LGBTQ+ community and those navigating challenges like eating disorders. I believe everyone deserves to be heard, and my goal is to provide support, be a resource, and help clients navigate life in a positive way. My focus is on my clients’ well-being, whatever that may look like for them, and I aim to ensure they leave feeling just a little better than when they first arrived.

My Background and Approach

Working with me is a dynamic and evolving experience. I meet you where you are, no matter what you’re struggling with at the moment. We may laugh, cry, scream, or sit in silence, but through it all, you won’t be alone. My approach is approachable and upbeat, and I understand what it’s like to be in the client’s position. My own therapeutic journey inspired me to help others, and I strive to create a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your process.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that mental health care should be accessible to people of all ages, genders, abilities, sexual identities, and faiths. I take pride in connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds and working collaboratively to support my clients’ well-being and success. I’m a strong advocate for social justice, environmental restoration, and the LGBTQ+ community, and I bring these values into my work. I often say, “I’m not everyone’s cup of tea,” meaning it’s okay if I’m not the right therapist for everyone. I believe clients should work with someone they feel comfortable and honest with, as trust is essential in therapy. Once that trust is built, I feel I can learn as much from my clients as they do from me. I’m passionate about breaking the stigma around mental health—just like you’d see a doctor for a broken arm, you should feel empowered to seek therapy for emotional healing.
